Currently Jeanne gets a kick out of acknowledging compliments when she wears orchids on state occasions, by saying, “Thank you, I’m proud of them. They come from our own backyard, you know.” Paul, Jr. is now five, and a highly responsible human being. Always an alert child, he has a knack for applying the things he has been taught. When he was at the grabby stage, Jeanne used to caution him, “You mustn’t touch that, Paul. It’s fragile. That means it will break.” Not long ago Jeanne overheard him coaching his younger brother, Timmy, about proper treatment of baby sister, Jeanine. “You mustn’t touch her, Timmy. She’s fragile. That means she will break.” Paul can and does correct the situation when he finds Jeanine in a sodden condition in her bed or playpen, and he is trying to teach her to talk. She responds to him with the usual infant goos, which he translates as highly dramatic narrative. Paul is allowed to participate in his parents’ discussion of family plans because he seems, Jeanne says, “like a college student to us. People who have teen-age children think of our Paul as a baby, but, to us, he’s almost adult. That’s because he is the oldest of the four children, of course.” Paul, Jr., is, in appearance and personality, the image of his dad, even to his hair problem. He has an extremly thick mop and, as a very small boy, wore it in a Dutch bob. However, once he had passed the age of four, he decided that the style was unbecoming to a man, so he rebelled. “It has to be cut like Daddy’s,” was his ultimatum. Like Daddy’s it was cut, and like Daddy’s it revealed a cowlick. Jeanne brushed, combed, and made a stocking sleeping cap for her son, but the results were negligible. Finally she said to Paul, “You’ve been through this. You should give me some hints, or at least some encouragement. How long was it before your hair learned to behave?” Paul considered. “I think it was in pretty good condition by the time I was thirty.” Young Paul has one additional problem: he is torn between deciding upon one of two careers — whether to become a bandit or a milkman. One afternoon, Paul and his next oldest brother, Michael, were playing alternate games of shoot-’em-up and deliver-themilk while Jeanne was entertaining a caller. Thinking that the friend would be amused by a report of the boy’s apprenticeship, Jeanne called Michael and asked him to tell the guest what he was going to be when he grew up. Michael favored the caller with a straightforward smile and piped, “I am going to be a elephant.” This story points up the great difference between Paul, Jr. and Michael. Whereas Paul is practical in his approach to life, Michael — born January 21, 1949 — is fanciful. He is inclined to stand before a window, one foot crossed over the other, and regard the view for long periods of time. Gentle in play, he simply walks away from Paul when that young gentleman grows too robust. Michael likes to assume the names of various animals and insists that his identity be respected by his mother. He told Jeanne one day, “I’m a big black horse,” and refused to come to luncheon when she called him by name. , “Michael isn’t here. There is only a big black horse.” “In that case, will the big black horse kindly come to luncheon?” inquired his flexible parent. This routine became so commonplace that when Michael finally came to the table one evening with the announcement that . he was a boy named Michael, Paul, the parent, paraphrased one of the best lines from Mary Chase’s play “Harvey” by saying to the family group, “Well, what do : you know! No one having dinner with us except people.” The Number Three son in the Brinkman family is Timothy, born August 2, 1950. , Timmy’s vocabulary was doubled by the birth of his little sister. Until she came along, his most used term was something best spelled “gunk-gunk” which was used to designate milk, water, soup, pureed vegetables and a dip in the swimming pool. The first time he set eyes on Jeanine, he gasped, “Doll-doll” and that has been his name for her ever since. Naturally, when the baby takes her bottle, Timmy explains the situation as “Doll-doll gunkgunk.” Jeanine, the fourth sprout, is the image of her mother and gives every promise of carrying on the Crain family tradition of* great beauty. Her birth was preceded by an incident which hints at the miraculous. To mark their fifth anniversary, Paul gave Jeanne a gold religious medal honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe. Set in the ; medal (which Jeanne wears on a gold neck chain) were five diamonds to mark five years of marriage, and three rubies to celebrate the birth of three sons. When Jeanne and Paul were in New York in the autumn of 1951, they were guests of Cardinal Spellman at luncheon. Jeanne asked the Cardinal if he would bless the medal, which he agreed readily to do, adding, “Next year Paul will have to add an emerald to commemorate the birth of a daughter.” Even so, when Jeanne was assembling a layette for Baby Brinkman Number Four, she didn’t buy one pink garment. She felt certain that she was to have another son, and her doctor agreed with her. When Miss Brinkman arrived on March 5, 1952, she was supplied with a pink Ridinghood outfit by Gail Patrick. This was the little girl’s first feminine possession. The Brinkmans have recorded their family history on sixteen-millimeter film. Not long ago they were running some of the ten thousand feet of movies which have been taken during the past seven years. As the lights were turned on, Jeanne said wonderingly, “Remember — when we were first married? I said my heart was so filled with love for you, Paul, that there wasn’t room for anyone else? I was wrong. Every time a new child has come along, I’ve found plenty of room. I must have an expanding heart.” This is probably the best possible summary of the first seven years of the Jeanne Crain-Paul Brinkman marriage.
